It's a rough life, being a supporting character in a colorful multiverse. Oh sure, your big-name superheroes might get killed off once in a while, but they can rest assured that the wise and powerful lords of all creation will resurrect them just in time to save the day during a crucial crossover event. But for the throwaway villains and the powerless civilian cast? Anything can happen. For a few issues you might be just fine, going about your life as though it was perfectly normal for men in bright tights to run around on the rooftops fighting crime every night--and then, before you know it, some jerkass named Doctor Sick von Evil is stacking you in the hero's refridgerator just to piss him off. Congratulations, you were created to be fodder for a Shocking Plot Twist and now your job is done. Yes, it's a rough life being a minnor character in the comics...
~
The time? 199X.
The place? Belle Reve maximum security prison in Louisiana.
The event? This year's bloated, DC-wide, multiseries crossover CRISIS. Omens and portents are everywhere, natural disasters wrack the Earth, heroes and former archenemies band together to stem the tide of chaos, because THE WORLD IS AT STAKE. And all the while, the members of the Suicide Squad, a government-funded program attempting to rehabilitate super-powered criminals by using them to further national interests (supervised by a group of goody-two-shoes heroes, of course), sit on the sidelines. A rising ocean leaves them stranded in their headquarters, alone with their private vendettas.
The team maintains an uneasy peace at the best of times. In a situation like this? It's a POWDER KEG just waiting for someone to strike a match...so it can EXPLODE. And soon enough, as if on cue, an unknown party starts eliminating the team members, one by one...NOTE: This scenario reflects no particular event in the comics. Characters who never met each other in the series are thrown together willy-nilly here. I have endeavored to make metagaming highly unproductive and avoid giving an advantage to people more familiar with the source material. In other words, if you attempt to infer someone's alignment based on a character name or roleclaim, you do so at your own risk.
ALSO NOTE: Despite the signup thread projecting a scenario in which the scum were the heroes, I have opted not to go with that angle because it's just too obvious. Again, see the above note. Character name cannot be taken as an indicator of alignment one way or the other.
ALSO ALSO NOTE: Brick is red.
